💬 Speak Up for Transparent + Sustainable Fashion in Massachusetts

An Act to establish environmental accountability in the fashion industry, H.1032

Why It Matters: The fashion industry’s global reach has severe environmental impacts, from water pollution to carbon emissions. We believe Massachusetts can lead the way by pushing for accountability and climate responsibility in fashion.

✅ Supply Chain Transparency Require major fashion companies to map and publicly share their supply chains, from raw materials to production, so consumers can understand the true cost of what we wear.

✅ Climate Accountability Mandate companies set science-based emissions targets aligned with the Paris Agreement and disclose their progress annually.

✅ Chemical Management & Ecosystem Protection Ensure companies disclose and reduce the use of hazardous chemicals that threaten ecosystems, water sources, and community health.

✅ Enforcement with Real Consequences Impose financial penalties on companies that don’t comply—with funds redirected to climate mitigation and impacted communities.

💡 Why Now: Fashion won’t fix itself. Our local choices ripple globally. Massachusetts can lead by shaping a law that supports responsible, regenerative fashion that protects people, land, and water.
